Thanks Thomas, Yes, I am using xvid which is using the h263 quantization method by default= =2E =20 Should I choose mpeg instead of h263? Other codecs offered by dvd::rip are: vidx4 vidx5 xvid xvid2 xvid3 xvid4 ffmpeg fame af6 xvid is the default codec selection. I can't find h264 in the transcode=20 options. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart41649596.Fq1G3MqcUS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBFfqIF5Fp0QerLYPcRAvDcAKCiAw0nYi8ZdKRla2/2efWe3cxgnACfS//p Ww43qSRgcxew+ABlGluD2hs= =n18+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart41649596.Fq1G3MqcUS-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
